Summary

District staff told the board the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) totals about $102 million and LCAP-designated supplemental/concentration funds total roughly $25,725,103; presenters explained how ADA and the unduplicated student count drive those allocations and why some budget figures appear mismatched across template slides.

District staff walked trustees through the funding numbers that form the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), saying the top-line LCFF amount is about $102,000,000 and the LCAP’s supplemental and concentration funds total roughly $25,725,103. "That's that $102,000,000 number right there at the top," the budget presenter said, pointing to the LCFF line.

Staff explained those figures derive from average daily attendance (ADA) and the district’s unduplicated student count rather than local decision-making alone. The presenter noted the state template mixes current-year and adopted amounts, which can make slides look inconsistent: combined restricted and unrestricted expenditures appear to exceed revenues on some pages, but the unrestricted side (which the district controls most directly) tells a different story.

Trustees pressed staff on specific line items and year-to-year comparisons, and staff clarified that restricted grants often include carryover and that some expenditures shown in the LCAP cover programs beyond the core LCAP dollars. The presentation flagged roughly $143,000,000 in combined expenditures versus about $99,000,000 in LCAP-budgeted expenditures, and staff emphasized they focus on the unrestricted budget because it is the side where district policy choices have the most direct effect.
